[RE]COMPOST – Performance

Step into a world where art and nature converge. [RE]COMPOST is an immersive site-specific installation that activates the dystopian "public green space" using cutting-edge generative sound technology.

By connecting two diodes to a plant and harnessing a delicate electrical signal, we unveil the plant's secrets. Its resistance dances in enigmatic patterns, responding to touch, light, and sound.

Join sound artists Leisl Lucerne-Knight and August Pope in ceremonial sonic symbiosis to reignite connections between fellow organisms.

This free event is presented as part of the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival, presented by Propel Youth Arts WA. KickstART is supported by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, and the City of Perth.
